Close to the train station. Good that there's a fitness area.

10/10 Exceptional

Excellent location! When you arrive at the train station, take the funicular down and as soon as you get off turn right- the hotel is in that back corner beside cafe Milano. Rooms were recently renovated, great breakfast, and friendly staff. We would definitely stay here again.

Perfect placement in the town, walking distance from the lake and the train station. Very friendly staff and good facilities! Will definitely be coming back
Madeleine Elizabeth, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

This hotel is next to the furnicular that goes to the train station and also a very easy walk to the lake and shopping. The included breakfast was nice with an assortment of options. The beds were comfortable , the facilities were clean and nicely kept. The staff was friendly and helpful. It was nice to have access to the gym and sauna. We were very happy with this hotel.
Laura, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Close to rail station but not easy to find. Nice room, nice selection for breakfast. some parts of the hotel are next to a tram line that take people up and down the hill via the train station so the noise is noticeable.
SHANE, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Great hotel in a great location. I appreciated the hotel having 1 standard European power socket as I was unable to find an adaptor for the Swiss socket in Australia. Coffee machine in room & fridge. Was given a free block of Swiss chocolate upon check in which was nice & a Ticino Ticket with free public transport.

We stayed here one night with our toddler and it was great, very clean very easy to get too! No great views out the window but that’s totally fine for our over night stay Staff was friendly and gave us a crib for our toddler and allowed us to turn on the AC unit because with the windows open we had a couple of mosquitos

ケーブルカー駅の目の前！ 重たいスーツケースを持っていても、すぐにルガーノ駅に到着できます。 午前中に到着しましたが、フロントスタッフは快くチェックインを許してくれ、部屋に入ることが出来ました。 ホテルは様々な観光にアクセスが良く、立地も最高です！ 無料の朝食はおいしく、とても満足しました！ また泊まりたい施設です。 スタッフの皆さん、ありがとうございました。

Nice Enough

It's a nice enough hotel, right next to the funicular that takes you to the train station. The rooms are quite dated, but the breakfast was nice the service was very good.
Jan, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The hotel was centrally located with easy access to the waterfront and train station. The cable car runs from the train station and ends near the hotel door.
Avis J, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Highly recommend

We loved our stay and wish we could have stayed longer. Great location. TIP from Lugano train station: GET on funicular. Exit funicular and immediately make U turn. Hotel is right there at the bottom. Great restaurants walkable and our favorite breakfast of our trip.
Suzanne, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Easy walk from the train station to the hotel. Take the funicular down from the train station and the hotel is immediately on the right. Right in the middle of old town so it was a good location. A decent hotel for the price. The room was small, but definitely adequate for our needs. Staff was super helpful and the breakfast good. The only negative was the sheets were not soft and a bit scratchy.
